What I was thinking about doing was machine quilting - pretty much straight lines with slight curves - the tracks and around the cars, and hand quilting the details on the rest of the quilt that I want to highlight.

I suspect it will be just fine, just wondered if anyone else had ever done this.
Works for me!

Braid by machine, scroll by hand
